Hundreds of Tibetans Defy Chinese Security, Attend Service

Tamdin Thar is the 39th Tibetan to set fire to himself in Tibet since February 2009, and the sixth from the Qinghai area. Although his last words are not known, Tibetans in exile who are in contact with people in the area believe that he called for freedom in Tibet and for the Dalai Lama to return home.
